Boy do I have a lot of nothing to say ....
First of all, stupid people. What makes a person "stupid"? Who are the "stupid people" and where are they? Don't get me wrong, we all have our moments .. but, as we all know there are some that are a little behind the learning curve. Sigh. Case #1: One night I am in a parking lot - one way in, one way out. For those of you that are confused, that means you have to go out the same way you came in. One particular night, I thought I would try to locate a parking space in this defacto parking lot - no such luck. As fate would have it, Stupid person #1 quickly drives up to the rear of my car .. so close, in fact, that I am able to clearly see the inside of his car and lost sight of his headlights .. hmmm. At any rate, I ask him to back up so I can get out - remember, the entrance/exit are the same. Of course, this minor request was a bit much for Stupid person #1 to comprehend. What happens? He proceeds to just sit there - I assume he thought my car was just going to magically turn into a hover craft and fly out. Well, after a bit of me trying to explain to him that the only (and obvious) way for me to get out was for him to back up and let me out. At the same time, Stupid person #2 enters the scene. Stupid person #2 clearly does not understand the concept of the entrance/exit being the same. Stupid person #2 thought it would be appropriate to block me in so that Stupid person #1 could have his spot. Let's get real folks, do I want to park my car in a parking lot w/such foolish thinking? NO! Just let me out of the parking lot you idiots!!!! Imagine the scene, I am boxed in: Stupid person #1 backed up a little so that Stupid person #2 had enough space to clear the parking lot. For some, it's real simple .. for others, it's not. Stupid person #2, the stupid person they are, felt it necessary to purposely ram his newer Toyota Highlander into my little car. Why? To this day, I have no clue. To my utter disbelieve, I hop of out of my car and ask the guy if he realized what he just did. The bobble head then proceeded to shake his head, agreeing w/my words. I then asked for his name and insurance info - again, he was agreeing by shaking his head .. this time the bobble head tried to talk by saying "uh huh". A few seconds later, Stupid person #2 thought it would be ok to put his car in drive, stomp the gas pedal and carelessly drive away (insert tires screeching). Unfortunately for him, a little while ago I was bored and decided to learn how to memorize AL license plates. All it took was one glance at his plate and it was stored in the files of my memory bank. Again, in shock I started to walk over to where our local HPD were hanging out. They were obviously not in the mood to work. At any rate, I explained the situation and informed them I was under the strong impression Stupid person #2 might have been intoxicated. Guess I should have prefaced this whole piece by stating I was trying to park in a parking lot located at the infamous downtown Huntsville (on a Wednesday night) - meaning, people were enjoying their after work cocktails and getting ready for the weekend. Moving forward. After explaining the situation, the police officer didn't seem to care. Ok, I get it. My emergency was not his problem .. and sure, here in America, we are all innocent until proven guilty. Sigh. Even after the cop saw my car, he really didn't seem to care. I had to ask him to 'call-in' the plate number and vehicle description. He tried to assure me that he would - seeing his behavior, I did not trust him. So, I just stood there staring at him. He questioned w/a smirk on his face "What .. you don't believe me?" I said "No offense, but honestly no. I want to see/hear you do it, please." Reluctantly, he did 'call it in'.
So, what was the final outcome? Three weeks later, my "incident report" is still a work in progress. I gave them the license plate number, and description of the vehicle. They inquired about it and were able to get a name and address associated w/it. Apparently, that was not good enough. The "investigator" informed me that they accidentally had the incorrect address - oops, typo. Sigh. I understand people make mistakes .. but, for the love of it all. Is it really that hard? Is it?! Oh, and you better believe that the investigator was not trying to keep contact w/me. I had to force contact. After realizing that he was not going to do anything, I decided to call every day - morning, lunch and afternoon .. leaving a voice message after each time he did not answer. Annoying, yes I know .. but, you know what all he had to do was answer the phone and tell me what the issue was instead of trying to avoid it.
The "investigator" asked me to call him by a certain time if I had not heard anything from him. I knew I wouldn't and had his number saved on my redial. I called at the time he asked .. did he answer? I'll let you figure this one out. Finally, I caught him off guard the next morning. He basically stated that he played telephone tag w/Stupid person #2 and that he was going to come into his office to discuss things. Ok, that's great. Finally. The "investigator" then asked me if I got any estimates for my car .. no, I have not had time. I already know where I am going to take my car .. there is no need for an estimate, just tell me that I don't have to pay for the stupidity of other people and it will make it into the shop. However, I can see his point of getting an estimate. Thus, I have to take time out of my work day to go get an estimate for my car. Am I happy about this? Not at all. I have to interrupt my work day - not get paid - and 'deal' w/this. Sigh. The "investigator" informed me the meeting is supposed to occur today at 2pm and that this whole thing should be resolved by then. Really though? Does he really expect me to believe that?
I know you are probably thinking, "What more do you want?" ... agreed. It's just a car and it will be repaired. It's just the principle behind it all.
Basically, if I understand correctly understand things .. I can go have a couple of cocktails, see the guy's car sitting in a parking lot somewhere and just smack the sh*t out of it w/a baseball bat. Sounds extreme and dangerous, right? Maybe. It's ok though, all I will have to do is avoid the phone calls from the "investigator" and let my auto insurance take care of it all.

Here I Am ...
... sitting at home on a Saturday night blogging .. err, trying to edit the existing posts in my blog. OCD? Maybe so ..
Ms Indecisive over here is having a hard time deciding on a template, choosing font type/size, colors .. oh the choices. LOL! I finally come to the conclusion that it's just fine the way it is.
You better believe I felt it was important enough to blog about .. look at me, look at me! I'm a shining star!!!

2007 Year End Review
Looky, looky here .. I have just become the blogging queen .. for now. HA! Seriously though, I figured I would use this quaint spot for my 'Year End Review' - basically, thoughts from the 2007 year.
i) Korea IS the rhythmless nation.
ii) Half of my blood comes from the rhythmless nation - you guessed it, I have no rhythm.
iii) Patience. I'm beginning to think this is one of those lifetime lessons .. something that will always be taught to us in many different ways.
iv) Faith. My faith is what has helped keep my head up during those really tough times - those tough times when you just want to throw your hands up and simply give up. Yet your faith is what tells you that everything happens for a reason just try to deal w/the hand you were dealt - no matter how bad you think it is - you might be surprised. Simply stated, God must be slowing me down for a reason.
v) Things are not as bad as you think .. trust me when I say eveyrthing happens for a reason. Basically talking about mind over matter (positive thinking) here .. positive thinking really does help!
vi) Stop getting in the way (usually by over-thinking things). My convictions are that we are actually the ones that mess things up - well, at least some of the time -by over-thinking things, thus the tendency to over-correct. Just chill out, everything will be ok.
vii) Accepting fault AND apologizing - when you are wrong - will diffuse a lot of arguments and make you feel sooo much better. Even if you are not at fault, you can still diffuse an argument before it starts by stating there must have been a misunderstanding. Give it a try sometime.
viii) Stop complaining. We all have our own issues to deal with. You are probably complaining about the things you have permitted.
ix) Stand up for what you truly believe in and try not to give up. What is it they say, 'say it w/confidence and someone will believe you'?
x)Kindness. Always try to be kind to people - you really don't know their story, and it's usually not safe to assume.
xi) Goals do take you somewhere.
xii) The truth shall set you free my friend. It's better to tell the truth the first time around - even if it hurts at first, in the end you will be respected for not lying (or not being completely honest).
xiii) Forgive. It's always good to forgive people - as well as YOURSELF - for any/all faults. No use in letting the past, and other people, hold you back from anything. Besides, let's be real here .. none of us are perfect - we all make mistakes and will be seeking some sort of forgiveness at some point and time.
xiv) There really is a place for everyone in this world .. ha! :)
xv) It really is ok to put away all outside forms of communication for a little quiet time.
xvi) "Failure" is not when we fall (or fail); rather, "failure" is the decision to stay down - and do nothing - once we fall (or fail). Try to think of these "failures" as part of some kind of growth or life experience.
xvii) This one may seem like a bit of a contradiction, but it's really not. Try to remember what life was like during the harder times in your life and thank those for always being there even when times were seemingly, painfully unbearable. Life is a gift, relish the moment.
xviii) Learn to love and respect yourself.
xix) You have all the answers you really need and/or are trying to seek. Stop all the irrational thinking and you will be able to clearly see for yourself.
xx) "Trust me on the sunscreeen" ... hahaha .. couldn't resist :D
Ok, ok .. so my list miiiiiight be a bit long .. maybe a bit redundant .. buuuuut, pat yourself on the back .. you actually read to the end!! :)

I don't know ...
Here I am writing yet another blog. I have so many different thoughts running thru my mind, I really don't even know where to start .. so, I will go ahead and apologize in advance if this blog is hard to follow.
Sometimes I wonder if I am just too nice for my own good. Har .. har .. I know everyone says that, but seriously though. I am the type of person that gives people too many chances - maybe I am overly optimistic and/or overly faithful who knows. I try to see the good in all people and try to treat them well - no matter what .. besides, it just saves much more time :) Don't get me wrong, I'm not perfect and have done my share of acting like a jerk .. nature of the beast .. it happens.
To be quite honest, I'm not as "social" as I seem .. for the most part, people really do get on my nerves - more than I let on. I don't like how some people will demand your attention AFTER you finally say 'you know what, it's not fun chasing you, I don't want to do this anymore' - do you people not really know what you want?
Albeit, fun can be (and usually is) relative to the company around you .. however, there are only so many nights you can spend stumbling the streets of downtown Huntsville. You're damned right you don't see me much anymore - I'm bored w/the downtown scene and tired of the feeling like my IQ drops just by being around certain people that indulge in that kind of lifestyle right now. Hey, I'm not here to judge .. do what you wanna do .. I think it is time I give my body a break from that kind of social scene.
"Any fool can make things bigger, more complex, and more violent. It takes a touch of genius - and a lot of courage - to move in the opposite direction" - Albert Einstein
So, what is this about people testing each other? Sure .. you say you have been hurt - well, who hasn't? It's all about how you handle yourself during and after the situation .. you've been hurt by someone/something .. ok .. now what are you going to do, "test" everyone that tries to come into your life all the while pushing them away w/out realizing it? It's your choice my friend .. eventually, people will get tired of the tests, games, etc. - and for the most part, they will more than likely just cut their losses and move on. For anyone interested I must admit, test me and I will fail - I think you basically set someone up for failure by "testing" them .. Maybe this is where hope and faith come into the picture.
"Life has no limitations except the one's you make" - Les Brown
Unfortunately, lying has seemingly become widely accepted .. what ever happened to just "keeping it real"? I can understand that there are just some things some people don't need to know just yet .. however, why lie about the "little" things/issues? It's time to wake up and realize that the truth will always come out - it might take a bit of time, but eventually it will surface. Oh well .. not my problem.
I guess it really just falls back to the whole everything will eventually work itself out - the way it should be - in the end. Well, I think that is enough for now - "I'm good, I think I'll just chill over here." Sooo, I will leave you w/this little bit that was fwd'ed to me in an email:

If You See Me in the Gym, Shawty You DON'T Know Me
Just thought I would take some time out of my ever so busy schedule to blog about things I've learned by going to the gym.
As w/most everyone else in Huntsville, I work out at the University Fitness Center (UFC) at UAH .. or, what I like to call "Club Fitness Center". I think the gym is a mini club .. or can be at times. I thought the primary purpose of the gym was to work-out .. the Club Fitness Center has proved otherwise. I'll go ahead and list some of my observations/comments (in no particular order):
Hope my observations didn't offend anyone .. lol! I compiled this list for entertainment .. these are just some of the funnies I've witnessed/encountered while working out at Club UFC :) Soooo, hope it didn't offend anyone ....
Again ... INCOMING!!! Hate mail .. lol! :)
As w/most everyone else in Huntsville, I work out at the University Fitness Center (UFC) at UAH .. or, what I like to call "Club Fitness Center". I think the gym is a mini club .. or can be at times. I thought the primary purpose of the gym was to work-out .. the Club Fitness Center has proved otherwise. I'll go ahead and list some of my observations/comments (in no particular order):
~ The weight machines are not your personal phone booth .. get your ass off the machine and talk on the phone somewhere else .. please believe w/confidence that no one wants to watch you talk on the phone, rather they prefer to see how far they can stick the phone up your ass before it stops working.
~ You are occupying space and wasting oxygen by just sitting (or "resting") for an extended period of time on the exercise equipment .. again, move your ass and let the people that want to work out do what they want and/or need to do.
~ SPANDEX IS A PRIVILEGE, NOT A RIGHT - use w/caution!!!!
~ While we are on the subject of gym attire, let's go ahead and it put it out there. It's real simple folks .. just bc they make it "in your size" doesn't mean you have to wear it .. kudos to you for making it out to the gym .. but, remember you are probably there for a reason - the clothes you were able to fit into a few years ago .. well, they probably just don't fit the same .. keep your eye on the prize, and remember why you are probably there .... SO YOU CAN FIT INTO THOSE CLOTHES AGAIN!!!
~ Do NOT come up to me and ask me if I just got my hair cut 2 days after your work out buddy made the SAME observation while you were standing there - cya cool points!
~ Why am I at the gym? To work out! Why are you there? Move .. I'm trying to get my swolt on!
~ Do ya see the white earbuds in my ears attached to the white covered wires going down to my white iPod shuffle? Yes, I am listening to music .. so I don't have to talk to you .. *sigh*
~ I don't mind SIMPLE conversation .. so, don't sit there and try to draw out some unnecessary conversation w/me .. the more you talk, the more my body cools down .. shut up and move.
~ If you introduce me to your work out partner .. try not to introduce me in association w/my car - it's just a car folks .. it's something I refer to as my "mid-life crisis" .. if the health of your body goes to shit at the age of 24.5, why can't you have a mid-life crisis around that time? My car will more than likely be for sale by the end of the year .. if you like it that much, you can buy it from me for the low-low.
~ On the topic of conversation now .. telling me that you work on the Arsenal impresses me as much as watching my dog piss on the trees in my front yard .. try wathcing the 'Pick-Up Artist' or Google some better pick-up lines.
~ Speaking of the job topic .. randomly stating that you "make good money at your job" is equivalent to me painting my toenails -- can ya sense the excitement I exude w/the thought that I am going to do my toes after this blog .......
~ Do not follow me around the gym claiming to be my "moral support" .. thanks for the nice gesture, but if I needed "moral support" I would just hire a trainer. Please get a clue when I say things such as "you are making me lose count", "are you going to work out or just stand there", "are you finished w/your workout" .. you didn't get a clue when I said "I'm going upstairs to do my cardio now - no, you can't come w/me" .. hopefully, you will start to get a clue when I have to do cardio every time you come up to me ..
Hope my observations didn't offend anyone .. lol! I compiled this list for entertainment .. these are just some of the funnies I've witnessed/encountered while working out at Club UFC :) Soooo, hope it didn't offend anyone ....
Again ... INCOMING!!! Hate mail .. lol! :)

God Bless America
*Disclaimer: This blog was not meant to offend anyone .. it's merely a bunch of randomly chosen thoughts from an earlier conversation.
God Bless America ..
Some would argue that the U.S. is a leading power in the world .. w/my political views leaning more to the right, I tend to agree. It doesn't get any better than this .. we live in a fairly free country. A place where foreigners can come and complain about giving oath on the Bible bc they do not practice Christianity. Try going to their home country and complaining about their legal system and see how far you get.
We live in a country where people walk a thin line of freedom vs being selfish, pompous assholes. You can find many examples of this via the national "news". Say what you want, bc you're excersing your freedom of speech .. confess to cutting wires on hardware meant to fly in the next shuttle mission, but plead the 5th as to why you did it - afterall, these are a couple of your basic constitutional rights. Even now, I'm expressing my opinions bc of my right to freedom of speech - way to go me :) LOL! However, something to think about: what happened to treat others as you want to be treated - the golden rule of life?
Here in the U.S. our govt is concerned about the general health and well-being in other country - AID's in Africa anyone?? Yet, look at our lovely health care system .. oh wait, that's right .. what health care system? Ha! We are the strong United States of America .. we will spend more of the tax payers money to help other countries (as well as "immigrants" and others on U.S. grounds) than to help the very people that pay into the system. How very humble of the United States. How can a country remain strong if it doesn't help itself too?
LOL! Now, I know this blog probably seems pretty negative .. not my intention at all .. just some thoughts that came up in a recent conversation I had w/someone. Don't get me wrong, I think it's great here .. I love Americuuuuuhhh! :) So, share you thoughts .. lemme see what you got!

Me, Me, MEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!! :D
What a nice little spot for me to express my nice little (random) thoughts ........
First, for those interested allow me to define the word "banter". According to dictionary.com the word "banter" can be defined as an exchange of light, playful, teasing remarks; good-natured raillery. Note, I intentionally made the last bit bold. If you choose to throw out uncommon words that you may hear other people use, please make sure you know/understand the meaning of what you are saying ......
To those of you who actually pay any kind of attention to my myspace page .. hahaha .. you may have noticed some interesting shananigans(sp?) going down. What can I say .. my sense of humor helps me battle boredom :) If there is anything you really want to know, feel free to ask - I will answer to the best of my ability.
While I'm thinking about it, allow me to try to help find a wee bit of clarity on an apparently hot topic --- my personal life. NO, I am not in a relationship w/anyone. Stop asking, and stop assuming (what a contradiction to the aforementioned paragraph). I promise, the second I actually do stumble into a relationship, I will advertise for all to know. NO, I do NOT play this whole break-up/make-up deal .. maybe I'm close-minded about the issue but once it's over, IT'S OVER!!! Contrary to conventional female logic, I can (and will) just "hang out" .. HAHAHA!! Apparently, my logic must be flawed .. in the past year, there have been a few boys that felt the need to "break-up" w/me. That's ok though .. do what you gotta do. The mind boggling question of this millenium is as follows: how/why can/would you break-up w/someone if you are not in an actual relationship?? Anyone w/the answer, please inform me. Well, I guess it can simply be answered by defining that word "relationship" .. right?
Yes, I am still in school .. get off my ass about it. People go through different things at different times of their lives .. sometimes, you can try control these things - sometimes, no matter how hard you try you can't .. afterall, we are merely human beings .. there's only so much we can do. Granted, things are only as bad as you make them .. but sometimes, (bc we are human) we allow ourselves to succumb to a cesspool of negative emotions/feelings/thoughts. However, this is where a basic choice can be made: sink or swim, and go from there.
I tend to stay a little on the silly side simply bc I am easily bored (but easily amused .. hehe!) .. AND you can't ALWAYS be serious. :) Also, I'm the type of person that you don't come to for advice if your feelings are easily hurt .. I am honest w/my opinons - "[...] you want the truth?! You can't handle the truth!!" HAHAHA!! :)
I've learned that there are always going to be people that talk about you - ultimately, that's their problem not yours .. bc of this beautiful life lesson, I try not to listen to the gossip I hear about other people. I really must admit, it is very amusing when I hear some of the rubbish running through the gossip-mill here in this fantastic metropolis - Huntsville, AL. :)
LOL! Got a little distracted and walked away from this blog .. hahaha .. distractions .. lol! Well, hopefully this will help answer some questions to any inquiring minds that wanted to know more about me :)
First, for those interested allow me to define the word "banter". According to dictionary.com the word "banter" can be defined as an exchange of light, playful, teasing remarks; good-natured raillery. Note, I intentionally made the last bit bold. If you choose to throw out uncommon words that you may hear other people use, please make sure you know/understand the meaning of what you are saying ......
To those of you who actually pay any kind of attention to my myspace page .. hahaha .. you may have noticed some interesting shananigans(sp?) going down. What can I say .. my sense of humor helps me battle boredom :) If there is anything you really want to know, feel free to ask - I will answer to the best of my ability.
While I'm thinking about it, allow me to try to help find a wee bit of clarity on an apparently hot topic --- my personal life. NO, I am not in a relationship w/anyone. Stop asking, and stop assuming (what a contradiction to the aforementioned paragraph). I promise, the second I actually do stumble into a relationship, I will advertise for all to know. NO, I do NOT play this whole break-up/make-up deal .. maybe I'm close-minded about the issue but once it's over, IT'S OVER!!! Contrary to conventional female logic, I can (and will) just "hang out" .. HAHAHA!! Apparently, my logic must be flawed .. in the past year, there have been a few boys that felt the need to "break-up" w/me. That's ok though .. do what you gotta do. The mind boggling question of this millenium is as follows: how/why can/would you break-up w/someone if you are not in an actual relationship?? Anyone w/the answer, please inform me. Well, I guess it can simply be answered by defining that word "relationship" .. right?

Power of Least Interest
Here are some wise words from the Great and wise Mr. Huntsville :D He put it in a bulletin a while ago .. after a brief minute of thinking, I've decided to post his words in my blog :) This is some simple, yet good stuff!
"Power of Least Interest!"
This is college level stuff, so listen up. The one that is least interested in the relationship has all the power. The other's lack of interest will make you question your own worth. Falling into this trap makes you a victim of your emotions. I can't offer any advice on how to avoid it. I originally thought quantity was the answer. But, you just end up with a bunch of drinking buddies and no quality relationship. So, here's the only answer I know: Love yourself enough to not let someone else destroy your self esteem. You know this message is meant for you!

11 Things You Did NOT and Will NOT Learn While in School - Bill Gates
This is a little piece I got in an email and thought I would share it w/everyone else - more good stuff here :)
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Love him or hate him, he sure hits the nail on the head with this! To anyone with kids of any age, here's some advice. Bill Gates recently gave a speech at a High School about 11 things they did not and will not learn in school. He talks about how feel-good, politically correct teachings created a generation of kids with no concept of reality and how this concept set them up for failure in the real world.
Rule 1: Life is not fair - get used to it!
Rule 2: The world won't care about your self-esteem. The world will expect you to accomplish something BEFORE you feel good about yourself.
Rule 3: You will NOT make $60,000 a year right out of high school. You won't be a vice-president with a car phone until you earn both.
Rule 4: If you think your teacher is tough, wait till you get a boss.
Rule 5: Flipping burgers is not beneath your dignity. Your Grandparents had a different word for burger flipping: they called it opportunity.
Rule 6: If you mess up, it's not your parents' fault, so don't whine about your mistakes, learn from them.
Rule 7: Before you were born, your parents weren't as boring as they are now. They got that way from paying your bills, cleaning your clothes and listening to you talk about how cool you thought you were. So before you save the rain forest from the parasites of your parent's generation, try delousing the closet in your own room.
Rule 8: Your school may have done away with winners and losers, but life HAS NOT. In some schools, they have abolished failing grades and they'll give you as MANY TIMES as you want to get the right answer. This doesn't bear the slightest resemblance to ANYTHING in real life.
Rule 9: Life is not divided into semesters. You don't get summers off and very few employers are interested in helping you FIND YOURSELF. Do that on your own time.
Rule 10: Television is NOT real life. In real life people actually have to leave the coffee shop and go to jobs.
Rule 11: Be nice to nerds. Chances are you'll end up working for one.
If you are reading it in English -Thank a soldier!

10 Women to Stay Away From
10 Women to Stay Away From ...
Snatched from Grace's blog .. I just couldn't resist! LOL! Someone please throw a bag of rice at my head and beat me w/a jar of kimchee if I ever display any of these acts of insanity!!! :>
10. The woman who is obsessed with getting married:
You know the type. Desperate to be married...jerks are ok so long as they are marriage material. She's the woman who had her whole life laid out like clockwork and with a timeline to give her the perfect life, only to find she hasn't met the perfect man and her biological clock is counting down in seconds. You know she's going to suddenly discover as soon as she's married and gotten the two kids that you are a stinker...but now, you're going to have to deal with her the rest of your life. She's so scary that any man in his right mind would run away....so run.
9. The woman who is always looking for a fight:
You will be able to tell if your woman is this type if everything with her is a battle. Anything that is said by anyone will be quickly taken out of context to become some sort of insult or some reason to wage war against the world. She will make you an angry and bitter person too as there will be nothing but misery with her. Avoid her like you would a shrieking alarm.
8. The woman who needs to be handled with kid gloves:
Everything in life hurts this type of woman. You feel like she should be wrapped up in bubble wrap so she doesn't break. The tiniest criticism, the most innocent of comments will have her dripping in tears and big sad dog eyes. Before you know it, you will be spending your whole life apologizing, saying sorry for all the things you did, didn't do and for the mere fact that you came into her life. It's easier if you just get out of her life, as if she doesn't commit suicide because you leave her, she will sure threaten suicide because of something your did when you stayed. Avoid her like you would Wanda from In Living Color.
7. The woman who really needs to cover up:
I understand there are many women out there that still feel as young on the inside as they did when they were teenagers, but there does come a time when they need to stop dressing like they have the body of a lovely young lady. To me, almost nothing is as gross as looking at the jiggling flesh of aging skin put out for display by a woman as if they are at the prime of youth (other than the behavior of leering men too old for them).
If you are involved with a woman who shows a bit too much, she has issues that are not going to get smaller with the decay of time so issue her a kiss off letter and vamoose.
6. The woman who is a constant drag:
God, there a million of these types of women aren't there? You know the type? Everything around them is a total drag. There is always something that could go wrong and she can never be happy, no matter what you do. You could have won the lottery but with her worrying and kvetching, it will soon feel like it was the worst thing that ever happened to you. This type of woman will slowly seep the will to live out of you, so stay away. Avoid her like you would an old used shoe.
5. The woman who can't shut up:
I get attracted to women who can carry a conversation and has a good sense of humor. But there is a fine line between being a good talker and talking too good. Avoid the wise-cracking woman who always has to make a comment about everything. If you don't watch out, you'll wake up one morning to find yourself next to your nightmare version of Rosie O'Donnell.
4. The woman who takes and takes and takes:
I've known only a few women like this because I only recently started having the money to attract more of them. These are the women that are lovely on the outside, but really inside are a bunch of money hungry takers who are just with you for your wallet. Your woman usually looks likes she's fresh out of a magazine when you first meet her and then you slowly realize it's all a cunning shell designed to lure you to her like a sirens' call. Watch yourself as the types of ladies will just suck you and your wallet dry and leave you emasculated. Avoid them like you would avoid a mosquito nest.
3. The woman who has nothing to say:
There are woman who talk constantly and say nothing. This type of women can go on and on about what her friend told her other friend about the shoes she bought on sale, but were really not on sale as her other friend found them cheaper at another store and on and on. These are the women you just what to yell "Shut the F### Up" on a daily basis but don't say anything to as they will then spend the next hour grilling you as to why you aren't happy today. ARRRRRRGH!!!
2. The woman who is one big freak show:
This is the woman who will quickly drive you to your untimely death by having a stroke induced by frustration. She can't make a decision about anything and doesn't know whether she is going forwards or backwards. Too wracked by anxiety about making the wrong decision, she drives you up the wall as you sit there patiently as she for the millionth time tries to figure out what to do, where to go, what to eat and what to wear.
1. The woman who is all out evil:
These women are rare but the most scary and destructive to be involved with. They usually come in very normal packages, but as the layers of normality peel off with familiarity, you one day discern that your woman is just plain evil. Get away if it's not too late....but make sure she can't track you down, because she's the type of person to find you and send you to prison on some false charges to become Hairy Leroy's "pet dog".
Well, as we guys all know, most women will say that this note (and anything else that portrays women as anything more than sweet little angels that are always getting hurt by men) is sexist. I agree but my premature response is that it doesn't mean it's not true. So for all you ladies out there that are gonna be insulted, please just ignore this not and wait for something else you will like. Or as I would say in front of my guy friends, will you just shut your yapper? lol

Road Rage
Road rage - something almost all drivers experience. Yes, like most others all that wreckless driving IS a hazard to MY health .. lol!
I'm not gonna lie, I have my passing moments of road rage too .. however, they are passing moments that I (and anyone else that has fortunately witnessed this one-person circus show) find to be a bit on the humerous side. With all that said, while remaining consistent w/the rest of my blogs, I will list a few things that have grabbed my attention while driving.
++ Tow trucks. Come on now .. what is it w/these things? Seems like they think they have some divine right of passage on any road way just bc they have some kind of flashing (hazard) light(s) atop the roof of their truck. Call me crazy, but I disagree .. caution, extra load??
++ Anyone else ever notice that the senior citizens tend to congregate in the left lane between the hours of 12ish-3ish?
++ Tin can tail pipes. Yes, you know what I'm talking about .. those Too Fast, Too Furious cars .. oh yes .. usually the Acura Integra's or Honda Civic's - yes, I am aware they are pretty much the same car. The cars you hear on the road that are simply annoying .. the cars that will sit at the signal light and rev up their engines .. right. Ohh .. you got me there .. your car is louder than mine. Now, go ahead and speed off so YOU can get pulled over while I speed on .. orrr maybe I will just wave as you sit on the side of the road bc you blew out your engine. Sigh.
++
The ohhhh I'm too tired to finish this now .. lmao! I'll have to get back to this later .. I'm tellin ya .. this cold is sucking all my energy!

Advice for Boys .. funny stuff!!
Some funny stuff here .. stole it from Jennifer's blog :> Sad thing about this blog is that probably most females have dated a guy like this .. I know I have. Please believe, w/confidence, that I will NEVER date someone like that ever again. Some guys might like to argue that females like it when men are assholes .. I think I DISAGREE. There is a reason you are single .. try being a little more nice. It's better to have a backbone, than to play those games ....
Advice for Men who Intend on Being Completely Worthless Pigs
1. When she asks how she looks, shrug and say "could be better." This will keep her on her toes and girls love that.
2. Never hold her hand. This can be interpreted as a sign of weakness. Or, if she grabs your hand, squeeze hers really, really hard until she cries. This will impress her by showing her what a strong man you are.
3. Once a month sneak up on her from behind and knock her over. Girls are like dogs. They love to be roughed up.
4. Call her in the middle of the night to ask if she's sleeping. If she is, say "you better be." Repeat this four or five times until morning. This will show her you care.
5. When she is upset about something, suggest to her that it might be her fault. This will pave the way for her own personal improvement and every girl needs some improvement.
6. Recognize the small things... they usually mean the most. Then when she's sleeping, steal all her small things and break them because jewelry is for pussies and Asian ladies.
7. If you're talking to another girl, make sure she's looking. When she is, stare into her eyes mouth the words "fuck you," and grab the other girl's ass. Girls love competition.
8. Introduce her to your friends as "some chick." Women love those special nicknames.
9. Warm her up when she's cold... and not by giving her your jacket... then you might get cold. Rather, look her in the eye and say "if you don't stop bitching about the cold right now, you're going to be bitching about a black eye." The best way to get warm is with fear.
10. Take her to a party. When you get there, she'll have to go to the bathroom (they always do). Leave immediately. Come back right when the party's dying and yell at her the whole way home for ditching you at the party.
11. Make her laugh. A good way to do this is if she has a small pet. Kick the pet. I always find stuff like that funny. Why shouldn't girls?
12. If you care about her never, ever tell her. This will only give her self confidence. Then you can never turn her into the object she deep down desires to be.
13. Every time you're in her house steal one of the following: shoes, earrings, or anything else that comes in pairs. Only take one of the pair. This way she'll go crazy.
14. Give her one of your t-shirts... and make sure it has your smell on it. Not a sexy cologne smell, but a bad smell. You know what I'm talking about.
15. Titty twisters and plenty of them.
16. If you're listening to music and she asks to hear it, tell her "no." This way she'll think you're mysterious.
17. Remember her birthday but don't get her anything. Teach her material objects aren't important. The only thing thats important is that she keeps you happy and your happiness is the greatest present she can ever get.
18. When she gives you a present on your birthday, Christmas, or just when ever, take it and tell her you love it. Then next time you know she's coming over on a trash day, leave the trash can open and have the present visibly sticking out of the can. Girls actually don't like this one that much, but I think it's funny.
19. If she's mad at you for not calling her when you say you will, promise her that you will call her at a certain time of the day. This will make sure that she waits by the phone. Tell her when you call you're going to tell her a special surprise. Now she'll be really excited. Now don't call.
20. Next time you are having sex, make sure you get off before she does, then get off her and leave. Girls love that.
